RETIRING from aerobic gymnastics four years ago with a world title, Kira Trevarrow never dreamt of again representing Australia.

But that's precisely what the Modbury Heights woman, 29, is about to do.

Trevarrow is coach and member of a northeast women's team representing her country at the Sport Aerobic World Championships inthe Netherlandsthis week.

"I've been coaching ever since I retired in 2008 and I came back to competing as a bit of fun," Trevarrow says.

"We (the team) ended up with some good results and thought we should keep going.

"The teams we'll be competing against at the championships do this as their fulltime job and we do it as a hobby, so for us even to be in the same league as them is brilliant."

Sports aerobics involves high intensity routines to music demonstrating flexibility, strength and continous movement.

Co-coach Emily Sharp, of Redwood Park, is also stepping out of retirement to compete at the championships which run until October 20.

"I've been itching to come back to the sport and obviously we're aiming high and would love to come back with a medal," Sharp, 28, says.
